Because it's awash in a sea of mediocrity, we sometimes forget that there are some good things on the interwebs. I've scoured the entire nets (it took a while) for the best of love and relationships today so you wouldn't have to. Here goes: 

Over at Lemondrop, our good friend standup comic Allison Castillo (pronounced "kast-ill-oh") is fed up with the term "cougar." The Courtney Cox fall television show Cougar Town isn't helping things. Hopefully, the Bill Lawrence-created (Spin City, Scrubs) sitcom will use the time-tested comedic technique of pointing out the painfully obvious and exaggerating it. Check out the very funny Allison in our LoveFeed video series. Also Read: Five Reasons Being A Cougar Rocks

Two more of my favorite ladies in the love and relationships space, Em & Lo (at EmAndLo.com), get the low down on some lube. And judging from the review, the author has gone from a lubri-can't to a lubri-can… but please don't call her a Lubri-dor Retriever.

Another poor bee has landed in Jezebel's bonnet. A survey suggests that over half of women want the government to mandate a woman change her name once married. Not surprising that the Jezebel ladies are against it; what is surprising is that they aren't ultra-irritated by the term "maiden name." One battle at a time, I guess. Read: The Great Name Debate

Remember that bloke Mazan Abdul-Jawad who thought it wise to get saucy on Saudi TV? Yeah, he's in trouble. And so is the station that ran his program, the Huffington Post gives further details of the debauched debacle.
